Dedicated June 1887, this 110-foot monument stands at the summit of East Rock Park, commemorating the New Haven soldiers who fell in four wars – the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican War and the Civil War. The names of the soldiers who died in the Civil War, including many from the Connecticut 29th Colored Regiment and the 31st Regiment U.S. Colored Troops, are listed on two tablets at the monument’s base.
